Mirror ball bearing size?

[gazza]

Hi guys

Took the mirror off my Gen 3 bike yesterday very slowly to be painted and was concerned about making sure i had the 8 spring washers all in order but i have lost the 3 ball bearings that hide under there. Just thought someone may have had to replace the odd one and may know the size.

Don't really feel like pulling the other one apart if i can help it.

Regards to all

No idea of their size, but one way to find them would be to walk around with bare feet in the dark.

If you take the other one apart, then put a large clear plastic bag over the assembly while doing so.

Assuming the Gen3 are similar to the Gen2, regular old BBs work fine.

But be sure and use copper plated BB's or there will be corrosion which can only be overcome by using the proper Mobil 1 synthetic Mirror bearing grease. On a more serious note I'd be happy to disassemble my mirror and measure the balls for you but my FZ1 mirrors have no balls!

Done. They are 4mm in the Gen 3 if anyone wants to know.
